How to enter á and í at the QNX cmdline??
How to enter á and í at the QNX cmdline??
I am trying to enter á and íon the QNX command line and the cursor keeps going to the top left corner
of the screen when i enter alt, a, ' or alt, i, ' have also tried
alt a 0 and alt a 1 neither way works.
I have changed a few stty settings(+efunc), didn't help. I am using the
101.US keyboard.
Anyone able to type á and í from your QNX command line, if so what keyboard and stty settings are
you using????
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray

Alt (ASCII code in Hexa ) should work
Try Alt 85 and Alt 8d

Re: How to enter á and í at the QNX cmdline??
Sorry, you need the accents from top rigth to bottom left !
The ascci codes are a0 and a1.
Tried on the command line but does not work, because
a1 = up and a0 = home.
But in ed editor it works !

Re: How to enter á and í at the QNX cmdline??
Pascal,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes we know that á and í can be entered from the within an editor.
Our problem is we are taking input from the QNX command line and need the
characters á and í .
Do you think this is an OS issue?? á and í are part of the Standard Console Character Set....but don't work on the
cmdline.
Thanks,
Ray

Re: How to enter á and í at the QNX cmdline??
Well, could these be alternatives :
* Write a command.sh file with ed containing your characters and launch it
from the cmd line with : 'sh command.sh'.
* I wrote a long time ago ( 15 years now ) a librairy with character input
functions and it works with these special characters. Perhaps you could
write an executable linked to this library who returns the input to the
command line !

From the sound of it, these overlap with HOME and END in the standardThanks for the reply.

Re: How to enter á and í at the QNX cmdline??
David, as you suggested below, I tried more stty settings, I also changed
tcap definitions and could not get
the á and í std console characters to display on the command line. We
are using QNX2 Version 3.21. We are starting to
enter several other languages which use these accented letters. Our
current program takes input from the commandline
and stores the inputted data in a database.
We are using a C86 compiler and I did not see the functions tcsetattr()/tcgetattr().
Any other recommendations or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
Ray.
